Grit ‘N Wit is win-win for the students and the school. We offer more than fun team building obstacle courses. And the benefits go beyond the obvious.
BENEFITS FOR THE STUDENTS
Students say Grit ‘N Wit is:
FUN
They’re with friends, competing against classmates, running around, climbing over walls, and solving puzzles. It’s way better than being in lectures.
UNIQUE
Have you ever heard of an event that’s part-Amazing Race, part-American Ninja Warrior, plus a few surprises mixed in?
ENGAGING
You cannot passively sit or skip out on the race. (Not that anyone ever wants to once they start.)
INCLUSIVE
Anyone – ANYONE – can participate. College athletes and students living with disabilities have completed the same course.
COMPETITIVE
Who doesn’t love a little friendly competition and bragging rights? And did we mention prizes?
Schools say Grit ‘N Wit also:
PROMOTES TEAM BUILDING
Students literally help each other over obstacles. This translates to other situations in school and beyond.
IS ACTIVE
We know we sit too much. Grit ‘N Wit is a fun way to get everyone moving and grooving.
DEVELOPS GRIT…
The obstacles and puzzles are, naturally, challenging. Overcoming them builds confidence and perseverance.
…AND WIT
Students learn new ways of approaching problems and challenges.
ENCOURAGES A GROWTH MINDSET
Students often think they can’t do something. Success at Grit ‘N Wit helps eliminate self-limiting beliefs.
